Abstract
The text studies the still life genre. Originally a meditative genre, the still life represents not only a visual, but also a poetic experience of the surface, which reveals what is happening on the background of the visible world.
When viewed in detail, the dead things and the seemingly unmoving whole have their own dynamics and liveliness. The text focuses on the images and meanings of tactility, and searches for analogies between the literary and art concepts of the genre in particular.
